1,716 PointsFirst Tests already getting rspec error;
So, just starting this project and trying to test the create_spec.rb and this what it has inside..
require 'spec_helper'
describe "Creating todo lists" do
it "redirects to the todo list index page on success" do
visit "/todo_lists"
clink_link "New Todo list"
expect(page).to have_content("New todo_list")
end
end
I am requiring capybara/rspec in spec helper;
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
require 'rspec/rails'
require 'rspec/autorun'
require 'capybara/rspec'
So when running it as..
bin/rspec spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb
It prints back;
F

Nick Fuller
9,027 PointsI'm assuming this is a feature spec right?
Try...
require 'spec_helper'
feature "Creating todo lists" do
scenario "redirects to the todo list index page on success" do
visit "/todo_lists"
clink_link "New Todo list"
expect(page).to have_content("New todo_list")
end
end

1,716 PointsYes, pretty positive. I replaced your code with mine which the difference was scenario vs it and still came up with same error.

Is there something wrong with the versions, I'm using or something else? I've barely done anything so far and seem to come up with errors. I kindly appreciate for taking your time in responding as well Nick.

Courses Plus Student 53,747 PointsHi:
There's a typo: it seems you wanted to use the click_link method, and you misspelled it instead.
Nick Herbold
6,533 PointsCurious if you received an error. I'm seeing a failure with test as well. Here's my code:
require 'spec_helper'
describe "Creating todo lists" do
it "redirects to the todo list index page on success" do visit "/todo_lists" click_link "New Todo list" expect(page).to have_content("New todo_list") end
end

4,402 PointsOk! Got it to work;
When I ran the test the first time with only
it "redirects to the todo list index page on success" do visit "/todo_lists" click_link "New Todo list" expect(page).to have_content("New todo_list")
The test came back perfect, 1 example, 0 failures.
Then, once I moved on and added
fill_in "Title", with: "My todo list" fill_in "Description", with: "This is what I'm doing today." click_button "Create Todo list"
expect(page).to have_content("My todo list")
The test came back and failed, 1 example, 1 failure. Failed examples:
rspec ./spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb:4 # Creating todo lists redirects to the todo list index page on success
Sound familiar? Everyone has gotten this error message it looks like.
All I did was DELETE the 2nd block of what we had just entered in...
fill_in "Title", with: "My todo list" fill_in "Description", with: "This is what I'm doing today." click_button "Create Todo list"
expect(page).to have_content("My todo list")
Deleted it out of Sublime text, saved it, went back to terminal, pressed the UP key to re-run the test, and boom, once again it passed since it was the same test that past the first time...
Then went back to Sublime text, repasted the text we had just deleted, saved it, and re-ran again, and it worked!
Maybe something tricky with a bug, hope this works for everyone! I double-checked this and it seemed to work. Let me know!
